I used to have great credit until I had a health crisis and lost my job. Now I have charge offs and dozens of credit collection accounts. I won't be returning to work so my creditors and their collectors can't collect anything. I never owned a house and returned my car rather then have it repossessed, I couldn't afford the auto insurance any way.
